ional development, sustainability, and marginalization 10 Here are some facts from the final report for the commission’s
work 2012-2016 and the renewal proposal prepared by Walter
Leimgruber and Stanko Pelc, according to which the IGU General
Assembly will decide on the work of the commission for the 2016-
2020 period.
Just before the last IGU Congress in Cologne 2012, the commission
held a meeting in Dubrovnik in Croatia.
In 2013, on August 5th and 6th, the commission met at the IGU Re-
gional Conference in Kyoto, Japan.

gional Conference in Krakow.
In 2015, from August 24th to 25th, the commission held its annual
conference in Agri in the eastern part of Turkey.
The themes addressed were geographical marginalization and karst
landscapes, the challenges of physically marginalized landscapes (is-
lands, mountains, coasts, wetland, remote and landlocked areas),
living and coping in the face of marginalization, marginalization in a
global world, and understanding marginalization.
At the Regional Conference in Kyoto, the commission held three
sessions of its own and three joint sessions with the Commission on
the Sustainability of Rural Systems. The attendance at joint sessions
was 17 to 21 participants, including chairs and speakers, and 9 to 18 at
the sessions of the C12.29 commission. There were 23 paper pres-
entations altogether, 11 at joint sessions and 12 at the sessions of the
C12.29 commission. After the conference, the commission organ-
ized an excursion from August 9th to 12th: Kyoto-Gifu-Toyama-Ishi-
kawa-Kyoto. The following topics were addressed at this meeting:
• Rural areas,
• Development Dynamics,
• Policy Options and Marginalization,
• Different contexts of geographical marginality,
• Marginality and marginalization: spatial, social and economic
viewpoints.
